* Peaceable Assembly Campaign- CAN is taking part in the Peaceable Assembly Campaign which is a national campaign encouraging local communities to Demand Alternatives to U.S. Militarism. We are having a meeting on Sunday, February 21st from 3:30-5 pm at CTSA (1077 S Newstead) to discuss the Peaceable Assembly Campaign and get involved. . Before the meeting it would be helpful if people checked out the Peaceable Assembly Campaign Website (http://vcnv.org/pac). The meeting will be a space to learn about Peaceable Assembly Campaign and discuss peoples ideas on how they would like to act to demand alternatives to U.S. militarism. Ideally we can begin to meet in smaller groups(affinity groups), people whom we can commit to meeting and acting with on a regular basis, then we could meet as a big group once a month to coordinate efforts, discuss road blocks, etc. If you have any questions please let me know and feel free to share with others.

If you can make it to the Sunday meeting please let me know so I have materials available.

* If you are interested in being part of a working group for a Support Our Sisters Campaign please contact CAN. This group will work on raising awareness around the "Apostolic Visitation." As the Vatican continues its unjust investigation of US Women Religious Communities, we will stand in solidarity with our Sisters. E-mail CAN can@catholicactionnetwork.org today if you want to join this working group.
